Why is Boudoir Photography so Popular?

Over the past decade boudoir photography has been getting more and more attention. But why has boudoir become so popular? Let's take a look at some of the main reasons this type of photography has grown in popularity.

It’s more than a photoshoot it’s an experience

Boudoir photography is such an amazing experience because it is all about you and you get treated like royalty all the way through. You get pampered with professional hair and makeup styling, and you get treated like a Queen (or King) for the day.

Some people might say that a boudoir session is a once in a lifetime experience, but it really isn't. It's an anytime experience. You can, and should, treat yourself to this fantastic and empowering type of photography. And, you should do it as often as you can, need, or want to. Most people came back to us every year for another session. Why? Because it's just that much fun and helps make you feel as beautiful (or handsome) as you truly are.

Anyone can look like a model

What most people don't realize is that models and celebrities look just like you do. It takes time and effort to look the way they do, and for the most part, it's not even because of anything they do themselves.

So how do models and celebrities look so good in photos? Well, it's all due to fantastic hair stylists, makeup artists, and wardrobe designers.

And guess what you get when you do a boudoir shoot? That's right, professional hair and makeup styling. Plus, an excellent boudoir studio can help assist you in choosing the proper wardrobe for your session.

You might not think that you can look like a celebrity, but boudoir helps you do what you never thought you could.

It's for people without experience modeling

Most people who book boudoir shoots are regular everyday people that have no idea how to pose or have hardly had their photo taken professionally.

A boudoir photographer will either help you pose themselves, or they will have an assistant help you with how to move your body. We will show you how to push your hips, straighten your back, and accentuate your curves to best show off your body.

Makes a great wedding (or anytime) gift

A lot of women (and men) would love to give their spouse a super sexy gift of sensual portraits. And while it does make a great wedding gift, I would argue that it's a great gift anytime. You don't have to wait to be married to show off your sexy side to someone you love. You can give boudoir photos as a gift for Valentines Day, a Birthday, Christmas, or any holiday really. I mean who wouldn't enjoy seeing sexy photos of you?

And I would further argue that boudoir photos are an even better gift for yourself. Which brings us to our last point...

You get to celebrate yourself

We hardly ever give ourselves enough time or attention.

You are always working, always busy, and for the most part, you are doing everything for other people. You hardly ever give yourself enough time or attention. A boudoir session fixes that by being all about you, it's precisely what you want from beginning to end. We start by creating your custom mood board and work with you to create a session that is personal, meaningful, and of course your kind of sexy.

Boudoir photography has become so popular because it has become more accessible to everyone. You do not need to be a celebrity since you will be made to look like one with expert hair and makeup styling. You do not need to be a professional model because the photographer will help you pose and show you how to look your absolute best in your photos. And seeing a beautiful sexy version of yourself can offer a huge self-esteem boost that we all need.
